The literary genre of the Adversus iudaeos was wide-spread during the Middle Ages, offering a dialogue/disputation between the Christian faith and the Jewish one, leading to the conclusion that the former prevailed over the latter. In this paper we present a working edition of the anti-Jewish polemical work Pharetra fidei contra iudaeos, which was very popular and spread from the thirteenth century onwards across Europe, as is shown by the more than one hundred manuscripts that contain it. Additionally, we provide a preliminary study concerning the context of the work in comparison with another work which usually goes with it in the manuscripts, that is the Errores Iudaeorum by Thibaud de Sézanne, as well as considering the most important sources on which the Pharetra relies.
